About Nomadic Journeys Founder
Hello from your nomadic travel advisor -
Priya
Hi, I’m Priya Kothari, the travel enthusiast behind Nomadic Journeys. I’ve been chasing horizons ever since I can remember.
After 20+ years in Tech, one day, I simply decided to leave that world behind and follow my true passion – Travel.
My love for travel began in childhood, growing up across many cities. I’ve lived in 5 countries – India, USA, Germany, Singapore, Mexico, and traveled across six continents (Antarctica, I’m coming for you!).
I’ve crafted countless itineraries and helped plan everything from quick weekend getaways to large destination weddings.
Today, as a travel advisor, I specialize in custom travel planning for international vacations, bucket list adventures and group trips in destinations across Europe, Asia, Alaska and beyond..
I channel my lifelong love of exploration and curiosity about places into helping people like you plan trips that are thoughtful, personal, and worth every moment, so all you have to do is show up.
The Nomadic Journeys Promise
Why choose me as your travel advisor?
You bring the vision, I make it seamless
Planning a trip shouldn’t feel like a second job. You're already juggling other priorities...
ChatGPT can help you brainstorm ideas, but piecing together the details and booking them can take hours of your time.
I handle the whole experience - air, hotels, hidden gem tours, skip-the-line tickets, etc.
You bring the group, I handle the chaos
Wrangling a group trip when everyone wants something different can get overwhelming.
I have the tools to handle complex logistics - different departure points, layered itineraries, separate payments.
From first flight to final farewell, I’ve got you covered.
Real support with a real person
Delays. Cancellations. Wrong rooms. Missed tours. Travel isn’t always smooth.
I have direct access to trusted suppliers and industry partners, so I can resolve problems quickly.
No call centers, no chatbots. Real help when you need it most.
It’s about the right trip, not the cheapest one
Booking online doesn’t always get you the best deal. I usually beat Expedia or Booking.com, or I at least match them.
I often have access to extras like resort credit or upgrades that deliver better value to get you an experience that’s worth what you’re paying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Top misconceptions about travel advisors
There are several misconceptions that deter people from leveraging travel advisors.
Using a Travel Agent is More Expensive
This is perhaps the most common misconception. Most travel agents are compensated by commissions from suppliers (hotels, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators), meaning their services often come at no additional cost to the client. In fact, they can frequently save clients money by accessing exclusive deals, upgrades, and perks that consumers can’t find on their own.
Travel Agents are Only for Luxury or Group Travel
While travel agents excel at complex and high-end trips, they are beneficial for all types of travelers and budgets. They can help with weekend getaways, family vacations, adventure travel, and everything in between, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience regardless of the trip’s scope.
Travel Agents are Obsolete/Outdated
Many believe that with the internet, travel agents are no longer needed. In reality, while the internet provides vast information, it can also be overwhelming. Travel agents have adapted, leveraging technology while still offering personalized service, expertise, and support that online platforms can’t match. They often have access to information and deals not readily available to the public.
Whats the difference between a travel agent and a travel advisor?
They are both essentially the same.
The term travel agent generally conjures visions of travel agents in the 80s and 90s with big desks and offices in strip malls with desktop computers and paper maps.
Travel advisors is the term for travel agents of the current age – with advance technology, broader networks and a modern way of doing business.
I can do everything a travel advisor can do using ChatGPT and Expedia or similar
While basic bookings can be quick online, comprehensive trip planning, especially for complex itineraries, group travel, or luxury experiences, can be incredibly time-consuming and stressful for individuals. Travel agents save clients hours of research, comparison shopping, and navigate complex details like visas, travel advisories, and policy changes. They streamline the process and ensure everything is handled correctly.
Travel Agents Only Book Flights and Hotels
Travel agents offer a wide range of services far beyond basic bookings. They can arrange custom itineraries, handle visa assistance, book cruises, tours, activities, transfers, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel, corporate travel management, and provide valuable insights into destinations, local customs, and hidden gems.
Nothing Goes Wrong on a Trip That I Can't Handle Myself
When unexpected issues arise (flight cancellations, lost luggage, overbooked hotels, medical emergencies, natural disasters), a travel agent becomes an invaluable advocate. They can step in, leverage their connections, and resolve problems on behalf of their clients, often providing 24/7 support that an online booking system simply cannot.
Travel Agents are Biased Towards Certain Providers/Push for Higher Commissions
Reputable travel agents prioritize their clients’ best interests and aim to build long-term relationships. While they earn commissions, their goal is to provide the best value and experience for their clients, which leads to repeat business and referrals. They work with a variety of trusted partners and select options that best suit the client’s preferences and budget, not just the highest commission.
My heart’s desire is to help people witness the magnificence of the Earth, and to help them share that joy with others.
